Along Came The Spider was the first full-length novel written by Alice..

Along Came the Spider, although a story of intrigue and suspense, has passages of humour characteristic of Alice’s own personality. People who have read any of her monologues will recognise her wicked wit.

It is a story of three diverse sisters who learn that they have unexpectedly been left a considerable ancient property. They are very excited – but Kate, who is psychic, worries about aspects of the Will. Why does it state that they have to live together for three months or nobody will inherit? Why do they have to start living in the house before the end of the year? Why does it feel they are being manipulated?

Kate’s sisters are prepared to do anything to inherit; Kate is reluctant. Her sisters say she is selfish; what can go wrong in such a brief time? What indeed!

It’s winter in the 1950s, and the horrors of the Second World War are gradually becoming history, along with many of its restrictions. But for Kate, the threat of danger is not over, and she must confront her enemy.

Along Came The Spider can be purchased from the Bookshop at Amazon.

She frowned as another thought entered her mind; the vision I had just before his call, what if the Will has to do with the vision? Was it a warning?Write your text here"...
